Knife Making Video

[Outdoorsman]

All I can say (as I do at the beginning of my video), this is the way 'I' make a knife, it works and I have made many good knives. Not necessarily the best knives but 'good' knives.
You must go with how you feel happiest!
Read everything you can find and then blend all the information in a way that makes sense to you.

Hope that helps?

many thanks pete. It seems to work for you, so I think I'll save some effort and put the edge on first.

Thanks guys!

I'd be interested to know from anyone that has downloaded the .avi file if it works! I have one person say it wouldn't play for them.
I have double and triple checked the original file that I seeded with and it works for me.

I have reason to think that the BitTorrent download of my video has been corrupted somewhere along the line but only one person has reported that to me.
Has anyone on BCUK downloaded it via BitTorrent and managed to play it ok?
Again thanks for all the positive comments about the video generally!

GreenPete it's an honour!

I found your vid very inspirational, having just finished a blacksmithing foundation course and hoping to do the intermediate course in September when we'll finally get to make some tools including knives and have a go at damascus.

Do you do much forging, and if so what do you use as an anvil?

Nice work

Thank you!
No I don't do any forging.
I simply made a knife like the one that Ray Mears had just shown me on a course back in 1995 because he said there was nowhere I could buy one at the time.
I went home and researched it and made one with the help of a black smith and then over time was asked by others how I did it.
So I did the website and now the video!
I am getting some great feed back too, it's great that I can help people, I'm so pleased people like it!
Thanks.

Hi folks, I thought I would resurrect this thread to tell you about my old knife making video's face lift!
The video is the same but the DVD is re-authored, so now it's got menus chapters and screen selection.
The latter I hope will make it easier to use as a reference video, i.e. you can be in middle of making your knife and need to find something out and just jump right to the place you want on the DVD (assuming your not in the woods!.. Mind you even then you might).
There's also cover and disc labels and as before it's FREE!!!
Nightwalker and a friend of his (Steve, not sure if he frequents this forum) have kindly offered to help seed the torrent to get it going.
Cheers, Peter

Anything to help you share that superb DVD of yours! Im working on a couple of ideas to help spread it to as many people as I can. You've certainly done a great job, well done Peter.

If you've never downloaded a torrent before, make this your first!... I've worked with Peter to create a page to help you download and burn this DVD. It should guide you through the process, failing that if you still need any further help your welcome to PM me and I will try to help where I can.
